Imagine an Austin where every neighborhood is shaded by strong, thriving trees—where kids can play without the sun’s heat beating down, and families can breathe clean, naturally filtered air. Homes stay cool, lowering energy bills in the hottest months. This future isn’t just a dream—it’s something we can build together, one tree at a time.
That’s why this Amplify Austin Day, TreeFolks is calling on our community to come together and invest in a greener, more resilient city. From 6 PM on March 5 to 6 PM on March 6, we have just 24 hours to make a lasting impact.
Why Trees Matter
Trees are essential to Austin’s health and sustainability. They clean our air, cool our streets, and create spaces for people to connect with nature. In a time of rising temperatures and urban development, planting and caring for trees is one of the best ways to protect our environment and improve quality of life.

Every dollar given during Amplify Austin goes directly toward planting trees and ensuring they thrive. Your donation:
